Together-finally

24/7! That’s what it’s been since returning from the hospital and picking up a moving truck. David’s blockage cleared in a week without need of any surgery. Praise God! There is no way to tell what caused it, other than too many hours sitting in a car. He has given no restrictions so, we worked nonstop to pack up our home, clean out my parent’s home (keeping only what they wanted), and carefully arrange everything in one house. Whew!!!

It was dark by the time we finally arrived to make the actual transport of my parents. It had taken us all day to move their bedroom furniture and set it up. they would not be willing to leave. My sister drove them, while we gathered the last few personal items. Everyone was tired and ready for bed.

We finally arrived and they saw their new digs for the 1st time… tears flowed. There had been a little sadness earlier when longtime neighbors said goodbye, yet driving away in the dark had been easy. It was not our plan to run so late… God arranged even in this. Mercy.

All this to tell you: We are in! They are in! God has provided  for what He has called us to do. I’m learning daily, growing hourly. There is no doubt this was not a moment too soon. Adjustment takes time – something we keep repeating to each other. However, this feels right. we are exhausted, but we are both directed and covered. There’s a lot of care, cleaning and driving to do, but we are together sharing the load. Grace.

Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children. Proverbs 17:6 NIV
